The GOP threatens a read a thon led by GWB reading My Pet Goat to slow down the health care bill. How long?

will this take?

Not very. That guy can’t read. He was the child that got left behind.

On to the seriousness. It’s called a filibuster. It can go on a long time. Strom Thurmond conducted a filibuster that went on for 24 hours and 18 minutes, nonstop, in a failed attempt to kill the Civil Rights Act of 1957. He read from the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, Washington’s Farewell Address, and a bunch of phone books.

The catch is that only a Senator can conduct one. G-Dub is right out.

    7 minutes

    Bush is not a member of the Senate, he cannot lead a filibuster.

    As long as it takes…and they have the right! IF they can stop and slow it down then they will get a chance to read the bill. As it is REID is passing the bill back and forth and rewriting it for the CBO so they can get a budget the CBO can live with….but the MANAGERS AMENDMENT is what will be voted on WITHOUT ANYONE KNOWING OR READING THE BILL BEFORE VOTING ON IT!

    They can argue all they want about what is and not in teh bill..but it is changed when the CBO turns it down. SO NOW REID REWRITES IT

    NOW if you libs weren’t so sneaky and so damn DISHONEST then you might not have to listen to the reading…but you are being DISHONEST WITH US and AMERICA and it is not GOOD!

    Now with the snow storm coming..it will help too….and it is not JUST THE REPUBLICANS that are not liking this..but some of the center dems do not want it.

    YOu are writing this bill with no republican input and no THOUGHT ABOUT THE AMERICANS THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE REPRESENTING!

    IT is time they went home and listened to their constituents and did what they wanted and most AMERICANS do not want it.

    WE HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT IS IN IT!

    With an estimated 2400 pages, at 200 pages an hour, that would be 12 hours (at 100 pages an hour, that would be 24 hours).
